| curriculum_planning | "ESF Abacus International Kindergarten offers an English medium education for children aged 3 to 5 years. The kindergarten is an IB World Schools authorised by the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IB) to offer the Primary Years Programme. IB World Schools share a common philosophy — a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education — that we believe is important for our students. The learning environment is rich and engaging and children are encouraged to learn through inquiry and hands-on experiences. The programme reflects the kindergartens’ PYP curriculum being planned around units of inquiry and is structured upon principles of good early years education. Early literacy and numeracy are integral to the programme. Mandarin Chinese is the specialist language and is integrated into the programme, forming a core aspect of the curriculum. At Abacus kindergarten, there is a choice between an English stream and a bilingual English and Mandarin Chinese stream." |

| other_activities_or_communication_with_parents | "Parents are invited to parent information and orientation sessions at the beginning of the school year. We also have scheduled private parent-teacher meetings to discuss your child's progress and share their portfolios. Should the need arise, from either a parent's or teacher's perspective, further meetings are scheduled as required. Each child will receive four written progress reports in their 2 years in kindergarten, and every child's progress is monitored by individual portfolios, and comprehensive checklists. Each child has a daily communication book, and receives regular newsletters. Parents are invited to participate in the programme as part of a parent volunteer programme. We take this programme very seriously as we endeavour to work in close partnership with all our families. Teacher's class planning is sent home weekly so that parents have an overview of the teaching and learning being undertaken." |
